Security is a must when handling sensitive materials such as narcotics in your lab or medical facility. Narcotics cabinets come in a wide variety of sizes as well as lock and mounting options. But there’s more to choosing the right cabinet than just making sure there’s a lock on it somewhere. Narcotics cabinets can also be modified to include lighting, additional locks, and remote security transmitters to meet the specific needs of your facility.
When shopping for a narcotics cabinet, be sure to check state regulations regarding your specific sensitive materials. From there, consider the options available to you in narcotics cabinets.
Locking Options
Combination & Key Cabinets
Keep items secure and out of sight with single or side-by-side key cabinets, each with separate keying. Combination lock cabinet options can include single combination locks or combination locks and a key lock. Choose the size that’s most appropriate for your materials.
Inner/Outer Door Key-Lock Cabinets
Some state laws require two doors and two separately locked compartments for the storage of sensitive materials. Even in states without such requirements, Inner/outer door cylinder lock cabinets can provide you with increased security and peace of mind.
Drawer Units
Lockable drawer units with a single key lock are perfect for keeping medications or small samples separate and secure and can be discretely mounted within a desk drawer.
Pass-Through Cabinets

Pass-through specimen cabinets are a popular option that can easily be mounted on an existing laboratory or clinic wall. Shipped with their own frame, these cabinets can be specified for new construction also. The two-door pass-through cabinet is perfect for public-to-laboratory gathering of samples. The security of only having one door open at a time ensures privacy. The turntable specimen pass box offers the same level of security with the addition of an increased opening size that allows for larger samples.
Lighting Options
Consider a cabinet with an interior light to make retrieving products that much easier.
Remote Security Options
For added security, narcotic cabinets can have a silent remote warning light installed. A small red light fixture can be installed anywhere in a facility, so that when the cabinet door is opened, the light can alert the appropriate personnel.
